About TBAG

Tempe Bicycle Action Group is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization working to make bicycling a prominent, safe and convenient form of transportation and recreation in Tempe, Arizona and surrounding areas through education, grassroots events, and civic participation.

Our objectives are to:

  • Collaborate with the City of Tempe and neighboring communities to enable bicycling as a prominent, safe and convenient form of everyday transportation and recreation.
  • Cooperate with other bicycle and alternative transportation entities.
  • Provide an online knowledge base for regional cycling information such as, commuting routes, group ride opportunities, bicycling events, cycling organizations, etc.
  • Represent the interests of cyclists in local, regional and state government
  • Organize and promote grassroots cycling events.
  • Partner with local employers to develop policies and infrastructure to encourage their workforce to bicycle commute.
  • Promote the bicycle as a a tool for creating a sustainable community

 
TBAG aims to coordinate Tempe area cyclists to speak with a unified voice on bicycle related issues. We work closely with the City of Tempe to provide feedback on bicycle infrastructure, transportation planning activities, and to lobby City Council and the Mayor on issues of importance to cyclists.

Some of the events and programs currently in the planning stages include:
- Free bicycle valet at downtown Tempe events
- Recognition and promotion of bicycle friendly businesses
- Expanded Tempe Bike Week and Bike To Work Day
- Promotion of a bicycle film festival and monthly bike film night
- A monthly Handlebar Happy Hour to promote dialog within the cycling community
- A bike lights and other essential cycling accessories (e.g. locks) program to encourage bicycling for transportation.
- Training courses on bicycle safety and commuting.
